Sushi no Midori Shibuya is a sit-down sushi restaurant on the 4th floor of Shibuya Mark City East, inside the Shibuya Station complex, where official set menus run from ¥1,980 to ¥3,630 with tax. Its full name is Umegaoka Sushi no Midori (梅丘寿司の美登利), and its signature item is a whole conger eel (anago) on rice for ¥880.
This guide puts the Shibuya branch first, then covers the other Midori restaurants and clears up the most common mix-up: Sushi no Midori is not a conveyor-belt shop. The conveyor-belt sister brand is Katsu Midori, and its Seibu Shibuya branch closed on 30 September 2026. Hours, prices and booking rules were checked against the official Sushi no Midori site, the TableCheck booking page and Tabelog in October 2026.

Sushi no Midori Shibuya: Mark City East 4F, open all day
The Shibuya branch opened in April 2000 and was renovated in June 2017. It sits inside Shibuya Mark City, the complex built over the station. The official site says it is inside the Shibuya Station terminal building, and Tabelog says it connects directly to the JR and Keio Inokashira lines, with about 5 minutes' walk from the Tokyo Metro and Tokyu platforms. It seats 62 at the counter and tables.
The biggest recent change is the schedule. From Thursday 1 October 2026 the branch no longer closes in the afternoon: the official notice says "no afternoon break, continuous service". Tabelog still lists an old weekday 15:00-17:00 break, which is out of date, so trust the official page. Guests are asked to finish within 2 hours.
There is no confirmed English menu for Shibuya: Tabelog lists English menus for the Ginza, Akasaka and Umegaoka branches but not this one, although the TableCheck page is available in English.
What to order
- Original anago (元祖穴子), ¥880: one whole conger eel draped over the rice. The official history says it started in the early days at ¥500 and is now ¥800 before tax.
- Premium nigiri set (超特選にぎり), ¥3,630: the top regular set, with chawanmushi and a mini crab-miso salad.
- Seared tuna (炙りトロ, ¥275): a mid-priced way to try the aburi (seared) side of the menu.

Insider tip
The official site says walk-ins can still wait their turn even when the reserved seats are full, so a missing online slot does not mean you are shut out.
Menu and prices

The photo is a generic anago nigiri, not a Midori plate.
The same "grand menu" is used at Umegaoka, Tamagawa, Ginza, Shibuya, Akasaka, Atre Kichijoji and Nagoya, although the official site notes that some prices may differ by store. All prices below are tax included, from the official menu.
| Set | Price | What is in it |
|---|---|---|

The official menu does not print a piece count next to the single-item prices, so ask staff if you need to know how many pieces arrive.
Online pre-order sets (Shibuya, via TableCheck):
- Matsuri seasonal set: ¥3,850, about 15 items including otoro, uni with green onion and dessert
- Seasonal Chef's Omakase Nigiri: ¥4,180, the most popular item
- Fuji premium plate: ¥5,830, offered at Shibuya only
The TableCheck page lets you swap up to 2 items per set, ask for no wasabi or choose a smaller rice portion.
How the queue works
There are three ways in, and they work differently.
1. The queue ticket (most guests). A ticket machine at the entrance starts issuing numbers at 10:00, an hour before opening. Take a number and wait to be called. Tickets can stop early if you could not be seated before last order.
2. The Shibuya LINE ticket (weekdays only). Shibuya is the only branch that sends tickets to your phone. The steps are:
- Add the Shibuya branch on LINE as a friend.
- Tap "webから順番待ち".
- Enter your party size and seat preference.
- Tap 発券する and your ticket number appears.
The LINE ticket works Monday to Friday, 10:00-13:30 and 17:00-19:30 only, for guests within about 1 km of the shop, and for up to 10 adults. On weekends and holidays use the ticket machine.
3. TableCheck (pre-ordered sets). If you would rather lock in a table, the English booking page at tablecheck.com books a seat together with one of the three pre-order sets (¥3,850, ¥4,180 or ¥5,830). The rules are strict:
- One set type per group, and the page says seating is limited to a maximum of 4 people.
- Changes and cancellations are only free 3 or more days ahead. From 3 days before, a 50% fee applies, and on the day it is 100%.
- Arrive within 15 minutes of your time or the booking may be cancelled automatically.
- Single-set bookings have a 90-minute seat limit, and seating is generally at tables.
No official source gives a typical wait. Older reviews from 2016-2018 mention waits of up to about an hour, so treat that as a rough guide only.
Other Midori branches
The official shop list shows seven sit-down branches (Umegaoka, Tamagawa, Ginza, Shibuya, Akasaka, Atre Kichijoji and Nagoya), plus a long list of takeaway shops and standing counters. Everything below is from the official shop pages unless noted. All sit-down branches take queue tickets from a machine at 10:00, and none of them other than Shibuya accepts smartphone queueing for now.

Takeaway runs 10:00-22:00 and standing eat-in 10:30-21:00 (last order 20:30). There are no reservations, and Tabelog review spend is ¥2,000-2,999, noticeably lower than at the sit-down branches. Prices are not on the official grand menu. A second standing and takeaway shop is at Nihonbashi Takashimaya. Details are on the official shop list and on Tabelog.
Midori vs Katsu Midori: which one is the conveyor belt?
These are two related but separate companies, and the names cause plenty of confusion.
| Umegaoka Sushi no Midori | Katsu Midori (活美登利) | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Sit-down sushi restaurant | Conveyor-belt sushi (回し寿司) |
| Founded | August 1977 | March 2002 |
| Operator | Umegaoka Sushi no Midori Sohonten | Katsu Midori Co. |
| Plates | Sets from ¥1,980, single items listed on the grand menu | Mostly 2 pieces per plate, from ¥154 |
| Tabelog genre | Sushi (寿司) | Conveyor-belt sushi (回転寿司) |
Katsu Midori's company page says it was founded to serve the Sohonten's sushi in conveyor-belt style, which explains the shared name.
There is currently no Katsu Midori in Shibuya. Its Seibu Shibuya branch, opened in December 2011, closed after its last day on Wednesday 30 September 2026, and the company points customers to its Meguro branch. The Nakameguro branch (GEMS Nakameguro) is also marked closed on Tabelog. Guides that send you to "Katsu Midori Shibuya" are out of date.
The nearest branch is Katsu Midori Atre Meguro (Atre Meguro 2, 1F, 3-1-1 Kamiosaki, Shinagawa-ku), directly connected to Meguro Station and 2 minutes from the JR Yamanote platforms. It is open 11:00-22:00 daily according to Tabelog, takes no reservations, and shows live wait times for each branch on the official wait-status page. Tabelog budget is ¥2,000-2,999 for dinner and ¥1,000-1,999 for lunch. Source: Katsu Midori company page.
Is it worth it?
For most first-time visitors in Shibuya, yes, with a few caveats. The Regular nigiri set at ¥1,980 and the whole-eel anago at ¥880 are low prices for a seated sushi meal in a station-connected location. The all-day opening since 1 October 2026 removes the old afternoon gap.
The trade-offs are practical. At busy times you take a queue ticket (no official source gives a typical wait), the meal is expected to finish within 2 hours, the English menu is not confirmed for this branch, and the TableCheck route is strict about late changes and caps groups at 4. If you want a slow, counter-style course with a chef, a dedicated omakase counter is a better fit than this sit-down chain.
